PTI man elected as Punjab CM

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's (PTI) Usman Buzdar was elected chief minister Punjab yesterday with the support of 186 MPAs, compared to the 159 backing PML-N's Hamza Shahbaz Sharif. PPP lawmakers did not cast their votes in the election.   Buzdar's nomination had turned controversial when reports surfaced that he had allegedly been involved in a murder case in 1998.
